With Rêves de vie, we want to raise awareness:

That life is sometimes perceived as short but precisely beautiful and precious,

That it is possible to expand the universe of human achievements, for ourselves and for others, that dreams (like laughter) are perhaps what make us human – what characterises our humanity and differentiates us from machines or animality,

That everyone can find their own unique path to freedom and fulfilment,

That the dreams we all have for our lives form a constellation of stars, a community of souls that shine together.

Our ambition

To preserve the beauty of the world and our humanity, we believe that it is precious for everyone to be able to have a beautiful dream and to realise it in order to achieve their full potential in life.

With Rêves de vie, we have given a financial boost and human support to 26 people with a magnificent dream in three years.

The benefits for themselves, in terms of overall health, self-esteem and personal fulfillment, as well as the benefits brought by their projects to society, were the subject of an impact study in 2024.

Pauline Alphen, author of children’s books, and 2023 laureate, also wrote a particularly moving story, which allows us to feel her joy at having had the means to “be herself”, to be able to fully realize her talent as a writer, to live (from) her passion – her life’s dream.

They made their dream come true

Anne created "1000 vies", an intergenerational café in Saint-Genis Laval

We live in a society where everything moves too fast, and as soon as people are no longer professionally active, they no longer fit in. Anne wanted to recreate the virtuous circle of sociability by giving older people back a sense of usefulness and a zest for life, perpetuating social links, encouraging independence and prolonging autonomy. In 2021, she opened an intergenerational café in Saint-Genis Laval to create links between the generations.

Pauline was able to start writing again


After her husband suffered a serious accident, Pauline had to stop writing to care for him and find a way to earn a living.
With the support of Rêves de vie (Dreams of Life), she was able to pick up her pen again and write a new volume in the successful "Les éveilleurs" (The Awakeners) series, much to the delight of her readers and herself—allowing her to "be herself."
